Mayonnaise Ingredients

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, mustard flour, and vinegar. Whisk them together until well blended.

2

Add Oil Gradually

Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while continuously whisking. Start with just a few drops and gradually increase the amount as the mixture begins to thicken.

3

Incorporate Seasonings

Once the mayonnaise starts to thicken, add salt and lemon juice. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4

Adjust Consistency

If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can add a few drops of water or additional vinegar to reach your desired consistency.

5

Store

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator. It should be used within a week.
